During Europython 2002's BOF-sessions I promised to contribute to the community by writing tutorials for how to get into Zope for beginners. The need for these tutorials is clear, since we are teachingh Zope in our company, Fountain Park, and at the same other people have the same need too. Besides the Zope Book and other published books, there has been nothing to support users that are beginning their journey on Zope. There has been several howto's and guides for different things, but many are outdated or have only about one subject where as these tutorials are intended to be a series of information that will give a more complete view for the beginner user. Meaning these tutorials will be a series that have a common story that ties them together. These tutorials will not invent the wheel again, but create a clear path that people can follow and start their journey. My wish is that these tutorials will help more people to start use Zope in a good way and possible help Zope to land better into corporate world, when more users have knowledge and trust into this system. This is the beginning of my small contribution to the community. Hope this helps and someone else will also want to contribute. What I would like to hear from everyone else is, what things should be covered and how, to which other resources and how-to's I should link to and -- the most important part -- ' Hey nice idea, I could write about this thing' or 'yes, I commented to the wiki just a couple of minutes ago'. Frontpage for the project is found at: http://www.zope.org/Members/huima/tutorials/FrontPage And the first tutorial being written: http://www.zope.org/Members/huima/tutorials/IntroductionTutorial Please contribute and help to generate a new generation of Zope users! -huima
